EPACA is renewing its partnership with the Public Affairs Summit Brussels, taking place on 4–5 November 2026 at SQUARE Brussels, in the heart of the European quarter.
The Public Affairs Summit Brussels is a two-day event dedicated to European public affairs professionals and policymakers, bringing together key players from the EU bubble. Held in the heart of Brussels, the Summit combines panel discussions, workshops, networking opportunities and exhibition stands.
Part of a wider series of European events that have already taken place in Paris, Brussels, Madrid and The Hague, this new edition aims to welcome 1,200 participants, around 70 speakers, 20 exhibitors and several media partners. The program will feature 12 panel discussions and 10 workshops.
EPACA's Charman Matti Van Hecke will speak at the panel discussion "Public Affairs 2030: What Skills Will Matter?" on November 4, at 10:30 am.
As Europe's first trade show dedicated to public affairs, the Summit provides a platform for discussion, debate and networking among EU affairs professionals from across all EU Member States. It also offers a platform to the wider public affairs ecosystem, including recruiters, trainers, technology providers, content creators, lawyers, academics, students and other professionals shaping the future of the sector.
